At first, I loved this complex. It offers many accommodations including, but not limited to: a luxury pool, 2 story workout area, office / meeting spaces, community events, food trucks, and a small private theater. For about a year, I maintained proper and punctual rent payments, made sure my unit / area was clean and free of litter, ensured doors were shut when they'd been stuck open, and more recently, kept up with the online vehicle registration they implemented in January. I actually agree with this policy implementation, because I do not appreciate outside vehicles taking up space in the lot designated to people who rent here.
I have had a few issues with my current vehicle, and had been using a rental for the last couple of weeks while it was getting fixed. I, of course, made sure to update my vehicle info in their portal so reflect the temporary change in vehicles. Last night, I arrived back with my car after picking it up. It was later in the day, and I had lots of work to finish to I went up to my unit, fully intending on switching the details of the vehicle back to the original, but ended up having a meeting, getting tired and falling asleep. When I woke up, the first thing I did was switch the registration, but by then it was already too late. Apparently, in the few short hours my car (which had been registered for 10 months before I switched cars temporarily) had been towed by the "business" they use for removal.
I went into the office to inquire about this, and received zero slack. Apparently, even though it had been previously registered to a punctual tenant with no history of disturbances, late payments or the like, there was "nothing they could do." They gave me a number to call, and I had to figure out the address for the towing service. Low and behold, the towing service (Sure Storage/IPM Towing) has a history of running scams with this and other complexes to milk wallets and tow vehicles with zero warning or hesitation. $350 later I am extremely upset and feel betrayed by the people I made special care to prioritize and follow the rules of.
If you value your sanity, wallet or conscience, do not rent here. This is owned by a conglomerate with zero regard for you or your property, and will only change things if they receive a veritable petition of dissent.
I really hope the $30 you made on this scam was worth the reputation hit and recommendation I would've made.
